"What gnawed most at his soul all these years later was that those who committed those unspeakable acts against him when he was twelve, thirteen and fourteen, had simply gone on with their lives. There was no fairness in that fact--he suffered and they prospered. Perhaps they should suffer too. Perhaps that would release him from his demons." Danny Miller lives in Toronto, an uncommonly diverse and peaceful city. Dealing with the violence that disrupts the city's peace is Danny's responsibility. A forty-two-year-old homicide detective, Danny now faces several murders that may be intertwined. For Danny and his team, each murder presents moral quandaries about how people of different backgrounds relate to each other in a multicultural urban centre.

Nothing Left to Prove
Author: Danny Smith
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781734979466
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"The sharp, hardboiled prose you would expect from a detective novelist... Smith shares vivid details, hard-earned insights, and stories of courage and terror, told with crisp, raw dialogue, a feeling for the drama of potentially violent confrontations, and an undercurrent of despair, despite many heartfelt tributes to cops he trusted and the mentor whose murder he had to look into." - BookLife Review He landed his dream job pursuing the guilty, but two decades of horrific violence and a steady stream of death left him scarred... From the streets of South Los Angeles to the elite homicide bureau, former sheriff's detective Danny R. Smith saw some of L.A.'s darkest hours: a crack cocaine epidemic, unprecedented gang warfare, a spike in homicides that stunned the nation, the Rodney King riots. A beating left him unconscious. Only the miraculous malfunction of a killer's automatic weapon saved his life. But it was the hundreds of deaths and innumerable tragedies-murdered colleagues, dead kids, a Native American burned alive by skinheads-that took the greatest toll. In this no-holds-barred memoir, Smith offers a rare, unfiltered view of a career in law enforcement, and reveals his unique insights into battling PTSD and being forced to leave the profession he loved. Nothing Left to Prove is shocking, riveting, and poignant-remarkably honest. It's the very personal story of one man's career and its effect on his life, unveiled through Smith's masterful storytelling. If you think you know cops, if you enjoy compelling true-crime stories, then you'll love Danny R. Smith's powerful narrative. Buy Nothing Left to Prove for an eye-opening insider's perspective today! Advanced Reader Reviews: "Danny R. Smith has told his story with open and raw emotion that few would be willing to share openly and with such brutal honesty. His story leaves the reader with a better understanding of the hardships that a career in law enforcement can take on one's life, and hopefully leaves society with a better appreciation of those who chose to protect us." - Andrea Self "Nothing Left to Prove is a gritty, gut-wrenchingly honest and compelling inside look at the life of a law enforcement officer. This author pulls no punches as he lays bare the violence and horrific atrocities that took place during his career."- Heather Wamboldt "I was at times, shocked, appalled and repulsed by what one human being could do to another human being. I was also amazed, appreciative and extremely respectful of those who serve so resolutely to protect others." - Michele Carey "This is an outstanding, exciting, and superbly readable account from a man who lived it all. Poignant, gut-wrenching, and, at times, amusing, this is definitely an unputdownable narrative." - Michele Kapugi "A riveting law enforcement memoir." - Bud Johnson "The ultimate walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes autobiography." - Moon Mullen "Takes you through the life of a true and dedicated street cop. Fascinating read!" - Kay Reeves

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “If you’re a fan like I am this is definitely the book for you.” —Pete Davidson, actor, producer, and cast member on Saturday Night Live “Danny’s incredible life story shows that even though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it’s what we do when we stand back up that really counts.” —Robert Rodriguez, creator of Spy Kids, Desperado, and Machete Discover the full, fascinating, and inspirational true story of Danny Trejo’s journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss—it’s “enough to make you believe in the possibility of a Hollywood ending” (The New York Times Book Review). On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. He’s been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, he’s a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country’s most notorious state prisons—including San Quentin and Folsom—from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, and Machete. Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world’s most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. An honest, unflinching, and “inspirational study in the definition of character” (Kevin Smith, director and actor), Trejo reveals how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey.
